Rajesh M Selva desired to make Kadaram Kondan with Kamal Haasan, but the Ulaganayagan, in spite of being impressed with the script, could not take up the project due to his busy schedule. His liking towards the story became evident after the actor came forward to produce the flick, while roping in Vikram to play the lead role.
Kadaram Kondan is an action thriller, which has Kamal's daughter Akshara Haasan playing an important role. Abi Hassan, Lena, Vikas, Jasmine, Cherry and a host of actors are part of the supporting cast. The film has Ghibran's music, Srinivas R Gutha's cinematography and Praveen KL's editing.
Story:
Chiyaan Vikram enacts the character named KK, who is on the run in Malaysia. He will be seen as a dangerous man with a murky past. There are complications in his appearance which makes him menacing and unpredictable person. Abhi and Akshara appear as husband and wife in Kadaram Kondan. How their lives and interlinked is the interesting part of the story.
Analysis and Reviews:
Kadaram Kondan is fast-paced action thriller which impresses the viewers with top notch technicalites. The brilliant action sequences are well-backed by pulsating background score. Vikram looks as stylish as ever in the crisp thriller in which Chiyaan has minimal dialogues. Akshara makes a good debut and Abi Haasan is equally impressive. On the flip side, there are lags in the screeplay here and there. Check out the viewers' response to the film below:
Kaushik LM: #KadaramKondan -Has a Thoongavanam vibe, with the Malaysian milieu setting it apart.
Macho #ChiyaanVikram doesn't have any romantic side to his character, and means 'action' all through with a hugely deep bass voice dubbing. He just eases through, sharing space with many actors
#KadaramKondan 2nd half - High on stunts - bike chase, car chase, hand to hand combats etc. The ending is decent, with an emotional touch..
Overall, a lightweight action flick with a crisp runtime of 2 hrs.
@GhibranOfficial's work Competent debut for @AbiHassan_
#KadaramKondan 1st half - So far, #ChiyaanVikram is akin to a caged, wounded tiger waiting to pounce.. Needless to add, he looks grt on screen with yet another new style trend to impress us.
He is brooding and serious throughout - an easy cakewalk for the 'actor' in him..
#KadaramKondan 1st half - Takes all its time to set up the core characters. The mysterious KK & a young married couple drive the plot.
'Thaarame Thaarame' is a nice melody, sung by @sidsriram
.. Debutant @AbiHassan_ 's screen presence is pleasing.
Hoping for an action packed 2nd!

Review Ram: The stunt sequences in #KadaramKondan are well shot, but surely not well choreographed. They are in fact tedious. Action is nothing but chases here in different forms like bike, car, walking and running. Doesn't build any tension while watching...
ZaZuOke: #KadaramKondan I thoroughly enjoyed that and with that being said as a non-tamil as an African Canadian #ChiyaanVikram is hands that with that performance the best Tamil industry has to offer such talent .. blown away just wow... Thank you so much
Sidhu: #KadaramKondan: Crisp and progressive thriller that qualifies as a fair watch. #ChiyaanVikram is in his element and handles the film well along with
@AbiHassan_ who is equally impressive. Some good action upholds the second half!
Dumeel Dravidian: #KadaramKondan 1st half is like roller coaster ride.. Stunts & bgm were amazing.. Chiyan is the pulsating.. If 2nd half carries the moment like this.. Then it will be massive comeback for Vikram..
